Hillary's Newest Grandest Idea To Make Us Energy Independant

Windmills

FERNLEY, Nev. (AP) -- Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton turned the spotlight on a key Western issue, saying the resource-rich region can help lead the U.S. in the development of renewable energy.

In remarks Friday night to about 1,200 people in a heavily Republican town about 30 miles east of Reno, Clinton said alternative energy would cut down on greenhouse gases, create American jobs and reduce dependence on foreign oil.

"We have all this empty federal land in Nevada. It should be packed with wind turbines and solar panels," she said."

Retro is ALWAYS in with avant garde libs, you see. Forget nuclear because that would be spitting in the face of China Syndrome devotees such as Hollywood, Code Pink, and anyone resembling a modern thinker.

Every. Single. Wind-energy. "Farm". Is government subsidized.

Not a one breaks even without Uncle Sugar coughing up mega bucks. So this is par for the course of Madam Tax & Spend, now isn't it.

Solar?

Please. Perhaps by the time Chelsea is running for president the technology will be available, but it is not at this point in time and that means MORE government subsidies.

There's a reason investors aren't lining up to support wind and solar energy plants. They make NO money and rely upon tax dollars just to break even. Thats one of the wonderful things about capitalism. If something can show a real return then the government doesn't need to intrude, for the private sector will be hot on it in a NY second.

THIS is the best the smartest woman in the world can come up with?

Windmills?
